The Shabby Tea Room #227

Hello! I'm posting a few cards today that I've worked on this week, starting with The Shabby Tea Room challenge #227 which is to create a card or project inspired by the photo with a summer theme, include at least three colors from the photo and one OR MORE of these items: vellum/acetate, polka dots, ribbon! Here's the fun, Summer photo:

Anyone else singing "yellow polka dot bikini?" This is a world away from the shabby I'm used to so I broke out my primary colors and my inner cuteness to create something just as fun! I started with Recollections red card base and used Die Cut With a View for the water and sand. I just cut the paper to size and then tore off strips. I used a Hero Arts stamp set with all the beachy images, stamped on Neenah White with Memento ink and colored with Copics. I fussy cut all of those and stuck them in between the layers. Can you see the little fish bubbles? I don't know what I'm going to do with this so I didn't add a sentiment. This may be a birthday card for later. I used vellum behind the tree palms and the ball for polka dots.

Hey, Char ... this card is just adorable! Thanks for sharing with us in the Tea Room!! I just read your bio that you live in Hampton, VA -- I was there last October and will be there again this October for the SSAT show with my Paper Sweeties stamps -- I hope to meet you live at the show this fall :)
